Skin Infections and Rashes

Rash refers to any sort of skin inflammation and/or discoloration that distorts the skin’s normal appearance. Common rashes include eczema, poison ivy, hives, and athlete’s foot. Infections that cause rashes may be fungal, bacterial, parasitic, or viral. Over-the-counter products may be helpful treatments for many skin rashes. Rashes lasting more than a few days that are unexplained should be evaluated by a doctor.

Is your skin itchy, broken out, or covered in a rash or strange spots? Skin inflammation, changes in texture or color, and spots may result from infection, a chronic skin condition, or contact with an allergen or irritant. If you think you have one of these common adult skin problems, have your doctor check it out. Most are minor, but others can signal something more serious.

Hives (Urticaria)

Hives look like welts and can itch, sting or burn. They vary in size and sometimes join together. They may appear on any part of you and last anywhere from minutes to days. Causes include extreme temperatures, infections like strep throat, and allergies to medications, foods, and food additives. Antihistamines and skin creams can help.

Eczema

Eczema is a blanket term for several non-contagious conditions that cause inflamed, red, dry, and itchy skin. Doctors aren’t sure what makes eczema start in the first place, but they do know that stress, irritants, allergens, and climate can trigger flares. In adults, it often appears on the elbows, hands, and in skin folds. Several medications treat eczema. Some are spread over the skin, and others are taken by mouth or as a shot.

I am so grateful that I didn't have to go to the ER and spend millions. Despite the fact that I arrived minutes from the closing time they were smiling, friendly and made me feel safe. Thank you so much for the great experience .

My entire family has been treated at Summit Urgent Care and we've all received excellent service. There are several alternatives in the area but I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Keep up the great work!

I went in on a Friday afternoon, the office was packed with people with various illnesses, looking like mostly flu. The front desk associates were very professional and pleasant. They answered all questions and exhibited a pleasant attitude. I was seen by very professional and pleasant people, overall great experience.

I always have a very good experience whenever I have to visit Summit Urgent Care.Starting with the Front desk down to the Doctors. Everyone is friendly and they know there stuff. What I really like is they give you a call a few days later to see how your feeling.Most of your traditional Doctor offices don't do that. It's convenient because you can get your prescriptions filled there as well. As long as they have it in stock. For the most part they will. Thanks Summit Urgent Care. For providing me with excellent health care needs.😊☺🙂🤗

Awesome place! I was out of town working and became very sick, unable to get to my primary care physician I visited this Urgent Care. The doctor, nurses, and staff where wonderful! I also was grateful for the on-site Pharmacy preventing me from having to wait for my prescriptions elsewhere. Definitely recommend this

I have visited this location several times and the staff is always prompt, professional, and courteous. When I can’t get to my doctor’s office, this is the first place I consider. They do a great job of taking care of their patients.

My experience coming to this facility was wonderful. I woke up to my daughter having pink eye on a sunday and I had work and she had school I did not want either of us to miss work or school. we went in and were seen immediately. We were greeted at the front desk by two friendly faces and the entire staff was very friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better experience on such a crazy day. It was the BEST!!!

Great service and quick too. Was in and out in less than 45 minutes. Dr. Moon very friendly and knowledgeable. Front desk efficient and friendly. Will definitely be back if I need medical care in the future.

From the time that I walked into the door, every person that I encountered with was professional and very friendly! The wait time to see a provider was extremely short, only waiting about 15 minutes to see the provider after arrival. I truly appreciated the provider's sensitivity for being a self paying patient by balancing the care that I needed with cost. It was a very pleasant experience and if I am ever in the need for care, I will make this location the first stop!

I had to visit Summit Urgent Care for the first time today (11-10-16). I must say it was truly refreshing to be treated with kindness. Jackie and Dr. Moon were so nice. I wish every health care facility could have care takers like this.07/20/17 and 07/22/17I had to visit Summit Urgent Care again 7/20/17 and 7/22/17. Let me say this, it is so wonderful, to go to a facility that is professional, kind and thorough. On 7/20/17 I saw Dr. Jason who was very thorough and so caring he made me feel cared for. He did such a thorough examination to see what was going on with me. He took his time and did not rush. He expressed his concerns and showed how much he does care. Also, nurse Jackie came in and was her usual sweet self. On 7/22/17 I had to return and I saw Dr. Annie who is so, so, nice and knowledgeable, too.No one wants to be sick, but when it occurs, I recommend Summit Urgent Care the place where doctors care!
